Westbound

Song

Westbound by Allister

Amazing song. It was easy to figure out and easy to play but it is a great song

with great lyrics. Best album I own. Check ‘em out www.allisterrock.com.

The very end of the solo is very hard to hear so that may not be totally correct

but I’m pretty sure everything else is

~= let ring

p= pull off

verse 1- Driving through nights on empty roads, Hoping the clubs promote our

shows, Wasting days with endless naps, Finding ways to fill the gaps

verse 2- Reading to save our numbing minds, Meeting friends we’ll leave behind,

Lay on the loft and trace the stars, Start the day in no ones arms

prechorus 1- Another word game with the band, Another losing rummy hand,

Another night slept in the van

Another story I can tell

chorus- I’m forced awake again in time to take the stage, and as my dream world

fades, another takes its place, I look into the crowd and see my self through

stares, Back when I hoped someday I’d be the one up there
